Period and Hormone Health talk

Is anyone using hormonal birth control really just as a period deterent? Or as a way to know exactly when your periods coming? I was on birth control a few years during highschool but then I went off for a few years before I got pregnant. I really stopped because I wasn't haven't sex and also because my family is really concerned about the negatives of birth control. My husband thinks the same as my family and im not pro or against either way. But I am starting my first period postpartum and wondering if it'll be worth it to either skip or track periods. Also im not breastfeeding or pumping at all so im not worried about baby but im open to hearing side effects and positive for me and baby of birth control.

Ok so I need suggestions. I've been getting a period since I switched out my Mirena about a year ago. It's a light period mostly though. I didn't get one previously for almost 5 years on my old iud. I get really chafed when I wear a panty liner (I don't bleed enough for a pad) and tampons dry me out (regular flow). I recently discovered that CVS and Tampax make a light flow tampon. I've been using them for like 2-3 months and they've been fine. But I started my period a few days ago and I've been using the light tampons like I've been doing but my vagina hurts. I feel like these are starting to dry me out too. What should I do?

Hey girls so I’m coming here for some advice/help with my period. So I had my son on November 2 was bleeding for 15 days after , had a normal period in December (dec 23rd - Jan 1st) then I didn’t have a period for a while which my doctor knew about but at this time I was having problem with my ALT levels (liver) and he had said that can cause periods to be delayed/stop so then didn’t have a period until March 24 - March 30. Then all of a sudden I’m having problems with my period again , my period app said I wasn’t due again until may 13 but then it didn’t start I was just having pink when I wiped after using the toilet and then sometimes spotting this was going on for about 12 days until I came onto my period (may 26th - may 30th) came off which only lasted 2 days (had sex in those 2 days which after sex I was bleeding / spotting which stopped the next day and then came on again and now it’s been 7 days ( June 2nd - today ) does anyone know what’s going on with my period at all ? Or had any similar problems?

Hi all.

I just wanted to know if anyone has had the same issue as me. I started my period on Sunday (the first one after giving birth) and it’s so heavy. It’s much like the post birth bleed. Is this what I should expect every month now?

Did anyone have something similar?

I am 8 months postpartum but lately I've noticed I'm still experiencing pelvic pain in right side and keeps me awake at night. I had pelvic pain in pregnancy but seems to be still there, I feel worried
